Two Cases of Nevus Comedonicus / 대한피부과학회지

We report herein two cases of nevus comedonicus. The first case was developed in the scalp, and the second case was in the right side of breast. In the first case, the lesion of the scalp was completely excised.

A Case of Pityriasis Lichenoides et Varioliformis Acuta / 대한피부과학회지

The nail has been considered to be the best human model to evaluate the general body state at all ages. The present study was disigned to measure the nail growth rate and to define the correlation of them with other values of nail size. The subjects were 373 males and 812 females whose ages from R months to 79 years. The results were as follows: 1. The linear elongation of the nails were most rapid in the 14 to 15 year-old age group. It decreased steadily as the subjects got older and olr1er. 2. Sex differences in the nail growth rate were not statistically significant. R. Where were no statistically significant differences in the linear growth rate of nails between right and left hands. 4. The middle finger nail grew more quickly than others, while the thumb and little finger nails grew more slowly. 5. Linear growth of nails were not significantly correlated to the thickness and length of nails and the length of lunulae.

A Case of Multiple Basal Cell Epitheliomas Arising in An Epidermal Nevi / 대한피부과학회지

Basal cell epithelioma arising from epidermis and its appendages is a common skin tumor. But multiple occurence of basal cell epitheliomas and that of arising in an epidermal nevi are extremely rsre. Since the first report by Toyama and Kojima in 1937, only few cases were reported in the world literatures. We observed a case of multiple basal cell epitheliomas arising in an epidermal nevi in a 54-year-old female patient who had rhomboidal verrucous patch on the right side of the cheek and arciform erythematous verrucous eruption from the right side of the eyebrow to the lower eyelid. Clinical features were not compatible with any type of basal cell epithelioma. But histological finding revealed basal cell epithelioma with epidermal nevi. Literatures were briefly reviewed.

A Case fo Cheilitis Granulomatosa / 대한피부과학회지

Cheilitis granulomatosa is a macrocheilia having a sudden onset and a progresaive eourse that terminates in chronic enlargement of the lips. Labial enlargement can occur alone or in combination with intermittent facial paralysis and fissured tongue. The traid of abnormalities has been termed the Melkersaon-Rosenthal syndrome. The term, cheilitis granulomatosa, is now generally accepted as the description of the labial conditian with or without the other components of the triad. We have experiegced a case of cheilitis granulomatosa in a 23-year-old man and excellent result were obtained after local triamcinolone acetonide injections. On the first examination, the upper lip was estimated at approximately twice the normal size and the tongue was moderatedly furrowed. The consistency was elastic, but firm due to the nan pitting edema of the entire upper lip. We have treated him with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide. Total injeetions were fifteen times in 6 months period. After the treatment, climcally ohaerved ehanges eonsisted of a decrease in lip volume, diminished edema plus a gradual softening of lip texture.
